How is your BIOS configured in POWER MANAGEMENT SETUP under ACPI SUSPEND TYPE. Is it S1(POS), S3, or S4. If you haven't got S4 (the equivalent of HIBERNATE mode), then HIBERNATE mode is not supported in your machine. How about POWER OPTIONS. Do you have a HIBERNATE tab in the properties box. If you haven't, then HIBERNATE mode isn't supported either. Do you have a file (Hiberfile.sys) in your system. This is where all data is written to when your machine lapses into HIBERNATION. If this file is non-existent, then HIBERNATION is not supported. |
Actually, that looks like a couple questions
. I know hibernation works, but I'll answer your questions. I'm actually hibernating the computer when I go to check out the BIOS settings. I went to the BIOS settings, and S1(POS) was selected. The only other option was S3(STR). The Power Options Properties window does have a Hibernate tab, and hibernation is enabled in there. I couldn't find any hiberfile.sys file, but I don't think this is an issue. Windows probably creates it when needed, and deletes it after using it.
